Jennifer Sudano – a week ago
View on GoogleI’ve taken a few pottery classes over the years, but it had been about nine years since I last threw on the wheel. Arezo at Wick and Ceramic is hands-down the best instructor I’ve ever had. She breaks everything down clearly, shows you what common mistakes look like, and then gives you the space to learn by doing. She steps in only when needed, offering just the right tip at the right moment. After just one session with her, I saw amazing results. She’s incredibly skilled, kind, and knowledgeable - I can’t recommend her enough!

View on GoogleMy husband and I took a wheel-throwing pottery class together for our wedding anniversary, and we had such a wonderful time! Arezo, who taught the class, was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. She encouraged us to relax and focus on the feel of the clay rather than getting too caught up in the mechanics, which made the class both fun and creative. We highly recommend visiting and giving it a try!

View on GoogleWhat a great time, having a starter pottery lesson on the wheel. Our instructor's teaching, patience and support made it so enjoyable. Tea & cake to follow added to a very happy experience. Thanks, Arezo!

View on GoogleW&C is a fabulously warm and friendly environment for trying out a pottery and its painting. I've tried the introduction to using the wheel, having never tried this before, and found hilariously good fun (and very messy!), and I even produced some half-way decent results. Give it a go, or give it as a gift!

View on GoogleMy daughter and I did a wheel throwing experience last Sunday and we loved every minute. Arezo was a knowledgeable, friendly and very patient (!) instructor and we had great fun whilst learning a lot.
Wick and Ceramic is a little gem - if you haven't been before and fancy indulging your creative side, I would highly recommend it! Prices were really reasonable too. -

View on GoogleHave just been to a 'wheel throwing' experience. Think I'm hooked, great experience and very therapeutic. The explanation of what to do was clear and she was very helpful when my pot went a little wobbly!! Would highly recommend it and think it would be great to do with a number of friends, especially the prosecco event! Thank you,

How long does the session last?
Each session lasts around 90 minutes, which includes a short introduction and demonstration before you get hands-on at the wheel.
